Seeing that the young eunuch wanted to speak but stopped, Zhu Youxiao had already guessed in his heart, and calmed down his voice and asked lightly:

"But Sun Chuanting has already left the army?"

The little eunuch's eyelids twitched. The emperor was so calm that he became even more nervous. Now he understood why Wang Chengen, the small sign of the Huangji Palace, did not come to deliver it in person.

"Sun...Sun General Sun killed Wang Bao in the camp outside Datong Town..."

Hearing this, the crowd around him burst into screams.

"Wang Bao, who is that?"

Zhu Youxiao has now become the most confused person. As far as he knows, there seems to be no such person among the important generals who came out of seclusion under the order last time.

The little eunuch did not answer because this was not what he should have said.

At this time, it is best to say less than a few words. This time the mission is just to pass on the message. If the purpose is achieved, there will be no business for you.

Minister of War Cui Chengxiu wiped his sweat and said:

"Your Majesty, Wang Bao is the current general of Jizhou. Is it... the younger brother of Wang Wei, the general general of Jizhou, who died in Liaodong last time..."

"Wang Wei died in battle, and the Ministry of War proposed that Wang Bao had good military achievements and was from Jizhou, so he asked him to succeed as the general."

"Oh, so that's the case." Zhu Youxiao nodded and did not continue, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward for a moment.

"Your Majesty, although Sun Chuanting is the supervisor, Wang Bao is the general officer of Jizhou selected by the Ministry of War. A general at the first level of the general. No matter what crime he committed, he should find out the evidence and deal with it according to the law."

"If Sun Chuanting acts like this, if the local governors and governors do this accordingly, if the generals make a mistake, they will be executed first and then report, and act beyond their authority. Wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

The person who spoke was British Duke Zhang Weixian.

Zhang Weixian rarely speaks on weekdays, and Zhu Youxiao understands that Sun Chuanting's actions actually threatened the status of local military generals.

Due to the adverse effects, he then spoke up for controversy.

Indeed, if the generals of the Nine-sided border can kill them at any time, the local generals, guerrillas, guards, and even the bottom-level generals and generals of the hundred and hundred generals, they won’t even need to report them.

This trend will improve the status of the literati governor.

Military generals are already despised, but now there is a situation where civil and noble people are inferior to martial arts in various places. This seems to be a bit tricky.

Zhu Youxiao didn't need to ask, but he knew that from Sun Chuanting in history, Wang Bao would not have been dealt with so seriously if he didn't do anything wrong.

The most difficult part is that what Sun Chuanting did was incompatible with the law, but the reason was correct.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao gave Zhang Weixian a reassured look, turned around and asked the little eunuch, "Take me a memorial."

Upon hearing this, the little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, as if the hand was burning, and quickly came over and then left respectfully.

Zhu Youxiao glanced a few times, his face slightly moved.

"snort!"

Zhu Youxiao put down his memorial and said to the surroundings:

"This Wang Bao should be killed."

"The memorial said that Wang Bao would not arrive after the deadline and was afraid of punishment, so he slaughtered hundreds of people at the foot of Jiaoshan in Weizhou."

As the words fell, there were shocks around him.

Zhang Weixian also swallowed, feeling a little unbelievable, "How come there are people in the world who do such a thing?"

Immediately, he turned to Choi Chengxiu and scolded:

"Cuibutang, what is your Ministry of War doing?"

"What kind of person is Wang Bao? Could it be that the Ministry of War did not find out in advance that he allowed him to succeed as a general of Jizhou?"

Upon hearing this, Choi Chengxiu seemed a little embarrassed.

He also knew that he had no talent to be aware of soldiers except for checking and balancing Donglin in his early years.

If Wang Bao really did this, it would definitely involve him. After all, the Ministry of War only considered that Wang Bao was Wang Wei's brother, so it was more convenient to ask him to take office in Jizhou.

The people below were also divided into two factions.

"What the British Duke said is true. Jizhou is the throat of the capital. Even literati like me who do not understand military affairs know the key points here. Why is Cui Butang so hasty when considering the general candidate!"

"Listen to me—" Li Banghua stood up and said:

"This matter cannot be entirely attributed to the unclear affairs of the Ministry of War. We don't know what Sun Chuanting is like. This is just a one-sided statement."

"What did Wang Bao do at the foot of Jiaoshan? What is the current situation in Jizhou? We still need to find out everything before making a decision."

Li Banghua's words were approved by most people.

Zhu Youxiao nodded at this time and said:

"Then let it be. Jinyiwei sent people to Datong and Jizhou separately to find out the real situation and report to me."

"Remember, hurry!"

......

The Jinyiwei, who was waiting by Zhu Youxiao, quickly reported the news to the Beizhen Fushi.

After hearing this, the commander Xu Xianchun attached great importance to it. He put down other things at hand and called Jinyiwei Qianhu Tian Ergeng, and Cui Yingyuan led the team to Datong and Jizhou to investigate the situation.

Tian Ergeng and Cui Yingyuan, one proved themselves during Zhu Youxiao's southern tour, and the other made great contributions when the Jinyiwei investigated the Shandong Incense Swordsmanship.

The selection of these two people to prove the court's importance to this matter.

However, Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War, was in a state of peace after returning home. After thinking about it, he decided to go to the Wei Mansion to ask for advice at such a critical moment.

Of course, I went to the mansion of the current chief minister Wei Guangwei.

That night, Wei Guangwei had just dealt with the government affairs of the cabinet and returned to the mansion to cook tea when he suddenly saw an old servant coming, saying that Cui Butang of the Ministry of War had arrived.

Wei Guangwei smiled slightly, and he naturally guessed Cui Chengxiu's purpose, and stood up and said:

"Turn him to the main hall."

Shaoqing, a burst of rapid footsteps came.

"Gei, save me!"

As soon as Cui Chengxiu entered the door, she said anxiously about Long Qumai. Wei Guangwei savored the freshly cooked tea and listened to him quietly.

As soon as Cui Chengxiu finished speaking, Wei Guangwei put down the teacup and asked softly:

"Cuibutang, what do you think was the reason why His Majesty appointed you as the Minister of War at that time?"

"Can you be able to be outstanding in knowing military affairs for you, Choi Chengxiu?"

"No, you are a chess piece, the chess piece that Your Majesty uses to deal with Donglin. After the imperial examination case, the Donglin Party members were all cleared out of the court, and you should have retired long ago."

"This..." Cui Chengxiu looked embarrassed, "Gei, is there no other way? I don't want to go back to my hometown like this!"

"Besides, returning home with such a scandal, those old enemies will not let me go!"

"That's just that I still want to continue to be an official..."

Wei Guangwei was surprised that the official was very addicted, not only Cui Chengxiu, but also he. The civil and military officials of the court came only after they became addicted.

“There is a way too.”

Hearing this, Cui Chengxiu asked: "Please tell me, what should I do to overcome this disaster?"

Wei Guangwei smiled, stood up with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked:

"It's simple. Whether for Your Majesty or the situation in the Northern Expedition, the best result is that Sun Chuanting is fine and Wang Bao's crime is conclusive."

"If nothing unexpected happens, this time the Jinyiwei went down to investigate, and the return will only be a result. Wang Bao was guilty of his crime and could not escape death."

"If something big happens, your Majesty is in a difficult position to favor military generals or governors. After all, there is always someone who takes the blame..."

Upon hearing this, Cui Chengxiu suddenly realized.

"What Master Ge means... is that I ask me to take the initiative to apologize and dismiss His Majesty?"
